Whitfield 1000

Fredonia’s Nick Whitfield poses for a photo with Coach Nick Bertrando after the senior forward scored his 1,000th career point in the Hillbillies’ Section VI Class B2 prequarterfinal basketball victory at Cleveland Hill on Wednesday night. Submitted Photo

CHEEKTOWAGA — Nick Bertrando has coached Nick Whitfield for four years as a member of the Fredonia boys varsity basketball team.

“I’ve literally watched this guy grow up,” he said.

The senior stood tall again Wednesday night, scoring 32 points, grabbing eight rebounds, dishing out four assists and collecting a pair of steals as the 10th-seeded Hillbillies held off No. 7 Cleveland Hill 69-56 in a Section VI Class B2 prequarterfinal basketball game at Cleveland Hill High School.

Of personal significance, the 6-foot-5 forward scored his 1,000th career point midway through the third quarter.

“It’s a tough achievement, seeing as he only played in one game last year (because of injury),” Bertrando said. ” … I would be remiss if I didn’t say how solid a person he is. I’m excited for him at the next level, playing football and going into the teaching field, so it will be nice to see him develop in that role as well.”

On a night where there was no tomorrow, Whitfield had help from his teammates, too.

Junior Ethan Fry scored 22 points, including 14 in the fourth quarter, and sophomore Davion White added 10 points, 6 in the final period, to help Fredonia gain some separation on the pesky Golden Eagles (7-13). Led by junior Zack Phillips’ 32 points, including six 3-pointers, Cleveland Hill didn’t go away after both teams played to a 25-all tie at halftime.

“We knew about him,” Bertrando said. “Unfortunately, we didn’t do a good enough job defensively. He kept them in the game, for sure.”

Cameron D’hilly added 15 points and 11 rebounds for the Golden Eagles.

The win advances Fredonia (13-8) into the semifinals at noon Saturday at No. 2 Newfane (14-6).

“I would definitely like to get a little more consistency at both ends of the floor, especially now,” Bertrando said.

In addition to his points, Fry collected six rebounds and dished out three assists; and Jay Hawk had 5 points, six boards and two assists.
